Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 285, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 December 1910 — The Evening Fire. [ARTICLE]

The Evening Fire.

The bright, sweet days of porch life are fast going. It has come time again when the evening gathers to start up the furnace or the grate. The change is not what the heart longs for, and yet there is a joy in watching the dancing flame drive the coolness out of the air that covers the walls of the room with a soft, gray tint. And then, when the lamp is lit and one takes up a favorite book, and reads and reads, while he stretches oqt his legs toward the cheery flame, he quite forgets the dear old porch as he mingles with another set of angels quite as bright and fair. It is one of the happy experiences of life, when the first cpol evening comes, and you pull down your curtains, light the fire, and rollick at will among your best and sweeteut thoughts. It is a great contrast with a day’s "rastle"’ out in. the cold world.
